Big Data for Policy Analysis: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Schintler, L. A. & Kulkarni, R. Review of Policy Research, 31(4):343--348, July, 2014.
Paper doi abstract bibtex Big data holds tremendous potential for public policy analysis. At the same time, its use prompts a number of issues related to statistical bias, privacy, equity, and governance, among others. Accordingly, there is a need to formulate, evaluate, and implement policies that not only mitigate the risks, but also maximize the benefits of using big data for policy analysis. This poses a number of challenges, which are highlighted in this essay.
